New Era SBC President: a Mix of Reformed Baptist, Charismaticism

Do you think the SBC is more in danger of turning pentecostal or muslim?

 

I would prefer he still be Calvinist. I respect Calvinist theology(not agree with) but I detest wishey washey theology.

 

I don't think Charisma is a danger, I see it as a positive. I see abuses of Charisma as a danger. I see his error in mis-identifying who God is as being quite grave.

 

The quotes seem to be pretty specific that the view being presented is that the Muslims know of the true God, but are iignorant of jesus as his Messiah.

 

No, one is error, the other is heresy!

 

IF that is indeed his view, that is a heresy

 

If he holds to those views, do you think he would want to be really clear about them though?

 

the Yahweh that the OT scriptures talk of is NOT the God of the bible?
The Jews know of the real God, have his own Name, and yet still must believe in Jesus to be saved and to now in Covenant with him!

 

What he told his congregation in Feb of this year when he knew he wanted to assume the top position in an organization who they were not proud enough of to recognize that they were part of. Perhaps he can change that, you know how change is always good, right??

“The third question some of you asked is, ‘since when did we become Southern Baptists?’ I get that. That is not something we really wear on our sleeve here.”

 

I would see Charasmatic Chaos a grave threat, such as word of faith, modern prophets/apostles, but if able to keep it under wraps so to speak... The
issue of Allah and Yahweh being same God much graver issue!

 

Even though it often does, Charisma does not have to lead to chaos.

 

True, but the Movement needs to pubically declare and put out of their midst the heretics such as Copeland, Hinn, and the gang!
And to renounce any so called Apostles/prophets for today....

 

There are 3 compromises trending in the Church. Creation, Cessation, Love of Nation. All three have become politically incorrect. Most popular Christian leaders compromise on all 3.

 

Also add need to have women made equal to men in spiritual authority/leadership in church
And that whites have to be shamed into confessing mass guilt.

 

Yep, that is a biggy. All of these are trending outside the Church, and the Church is following right after them. The American Church doesn't lead or influence anything these days.

 

Love of nation is not and never was a Christian matter. That crept into the SBC with the fundamentalist takeover which resulted in an unBiblical blending of support for the Republican party and the Christian faith. Jesus said that He did not come to establish a Kingdom on Earth but rather a Heavenly Kingdom. Blending Church and state is akin to the view held by most Jews that the messiah would lead thm to a great military victory and re-establish israel as a worldly power. That's why they crusified Christ.

 

I'm interested to hear you expand these thoughts.

The Archangel

 

Taxes customs fear and honor. Romans 13:7

and Paul often referred to his Roman citizenship. He never renounced it.

Patriotism comes from Scripture, as does nationalism and borders, which are from God along with the governments that are sovereign over them. Globalism is the goal of the devil. He's been trying to unite the nations ever since Babel.

 

Creation as in Genesis. Most Church don't take it literally anymore. Evolution is becoming mainstream.
Cessation as in modern sign gifts and modern revelation. The New Apostolic Reformation comes to mind, where they believe they have modern prophets and apostles. They don't really need scripture anymore.
And love of nation as in patriotism and nationalism, which come from Scripture. God divided the nations at Babel and man's been trying to unite them ever since. Globalism is Satan's tool to usher in all kinds of evil. God thwarted his plan and the Church seems more than willing to undo what God did.
